“I will certainly support my successor, and I will give my all to United Democratic Party. I just returned from the States.

So I have not in any way walked away from my commitment to a better Belize and I will serve in whatever capacity, whether it’s the private sector or the public sector. Certainly, have not given up on Mesopotamia. I do hope to be the next area representative for Mesopotamia. But in due time. do hope to be the next area representative for Mesopotamia. But in due time. So at this juncture, I will have to make a way for a national convention that does not include me as a candidate. So we are doing all we can, the party chairman, the central executive to ensure. A seamless transition. Obviously we’ve had a civil war and it was quite messy tremendous bloodletting, but I believe we have passed that. And as I said, the party chairman Alberto August are kudos to him and the central executive., all of the members of the team who have worked to ensure that we had constituency, special constituency conventions in all of the constituencies where there were duplicate candidates.”
